Attendance Criteria
Participants are expected to attend all sessions. Ability to make up missed sessions during future programs depends on space availability. No certificate is awarded if more than one half-day session is missed.

Certificate and CEU’s
A certificate awarding Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be issued by Rockhurst University for those sessions delivered by their instructors. However, certificates will not be awarded if a participant misses more than one full-day session throughout the series, including the Technology Summits.

Technology Summits
Several technology sessions will be offered in conjunction with OIT during the weeks of the academic breaks – October and March. Participants must complete a total of three half-day classes. Topics will be determined in advance with participant input.

Location and Times: Regular classes will be held one Thursday per month from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Technology classes will take place in the one of the campus training labs. Exact dates and times will be communicated to the participants when available.

“The [TAP] certification was a great way to refine some tools, learn new techniques, meet new friends, and most of all develop a network system within our fields.” – Vicky Hernandez, Administrative Assistant, Community Relations
